The Ukrainian-Russian film “A Driver for Vera” will compete for the prestigious “Oscar” award. The committee of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences confirmed that this film is among the contenders for the nomination “Best Foreign Language Film.” In addition, the Ministry of Culture and Arts of Ukraine received the corresponding official confirmation. According to the “Oscar” rules, Ukraine can compete for this trophy under two conditions. First, the film must have a theatrical release “record.” And second, Ukrainians must have been involved in its creation. “A Driver for Vera” meets these criteria. In the film by the famous Russian director Pavel Chukhray, one of the main roles was played by actor Bohdan Stupka. Recall that last year Ukraine tried for the first time to take part in the competition for the “Oscar,” submitting Oles Sanin’s film “Mamay.”
